By his eighteenth birthday David Millar was living and racing in France, sleeping in rented rooms, tipped to be the next English-speaking Tour winner. A year later he''d realised the dream and signed a professional contract. He perhaps lived the high life a little too enthusiastically - he broke his heel in a fall from a roof after too much drink - and before long the pressure to succeed had tipped over into doping. Here, in a full and frank autobiography, David Millar recounts the story from the inside: he doped because ''cycling''s drug culture was like white noise'', and because of peer pressure. ''I doped for money and glory in order to guarantee the continuation of my status.'' Five years on from his arrest, Millar is clean and reflective, and holds nothing back in this account of his dark years.

Cuando en 2004 el ciclista escocés David Millar fue detenido y expulsado de la competición internacional por haber utilizado sustancias ilegales para incrementar su rendimiento, su vida de ensueño se vino abajo. Millar lo perdió todo: un contrato millonario con uno de los principales equipos del pelotón, su estilo de vida en la opulenta ciudad de Biarritz, el apoyo de sus colegas más cercanos e incluso la medalla de oro que había conquistado pocos meses antes en el Mundial.Este es el relato en primera persona de un joven idealista que llegó a la alta competición y, muy pronto, sometido a una gran presión por su entorno, empezó a doparse con EPO, la droga ilegal más extendida en el mundo del ciclismo.Millar, actualmente en activo y reconvertido en un militante contra el dopaje y sus devastadoras consecuencias, construye un fascinante y trepidante retrato del ciclismo profesional y de las presiones, miserias y bajezas que subyacen bajo su superficie.Entre el thriller y el relato confesional más desgarrado y emotivo, "Pedaleando en la oscuridad" ilumina las zonas oscuras del ciclismo y, por extensión, del deporte de élite en general.
